Reincarnated as incubus: I didn't mean to seduce you!

In other tribes where numbers are scarce, it is even more so. Many of these tribes might only have one or two Monsters capable of thought like us, making their ability to gather information quite poor.

Perhaps because they see our tribe as the last and strongest force in the Twisted Jungle, a few days ago they sent a representative to communicate with us.

Furthermore..."

The unsaid words of the Moon Howling Lion King were that these smaller tribes, upon noticing the Shadow Wolves' mass disappearance from the jungle, suspected that the Humans had decisively struck.

The number of Humans entering the Dungeon had been increasing of late, giving rise to fears of their tribe's possible extinction.

Kael glanced at the Lion King.

He was convinced the Lion King had not been aware of the effects of controlling Totem Power; if it knew that under Totem Vision, its inner thoughts could hardly be hidden, it wouldn't have brooded so much in silence.

But... worried about being wiped out?

This was something Kael had never paid much attention to before, as he had mostly focused on the primary conflicts.

The secondary conflicts, naturally, he didn't care too much about.

In the end, his gaze returned to the Lion King.

Taking care of many matters oneself was of no use; they still needed to be left to the professionals.

He looked at the Lion King with a smile that contained a subtle threat and a hint of scheming, as if to console it, he said,

"Since they've invited you, why don't you go? I'll send someone with you. Don't worry, my people won't get involved until you meet with your tribe."

The Lion King looked at Kael in astonishment, feeling the totem it was about to follow was rotten to the core.

If the Moon Howling Lion Group and his people were to go together, he feared that those intelligent species would be annihilated. Should he plead on their behalf?

It wasn't that he felt compassion for them, it was just that if they all died, there would be no one to support and respond to the lion group if they faced any problems in the future.

Kael cast a languid glance at the Lion King, who had so many thoughts to itself, and said with a playful tone,

"Don't worry, it's actually a good thing for them. I don't plan to harvest them; I just need you to relay a message to ask if they are willing to join Lancaster."

"Hmm?" The Lion King felt somewhat disappointed.

As it suspected the possible extermination of other species, it experienced a sense of sorrow, but upon hearing that other species would work for Lord Kael, it began to worry about its own standing under Kael's command.

"Don't overthink it; we in Lancaster welcome all friends, as long as they are willing to be our friends..."

"But with such a large influx of Monsters into your territory, won't that cause a food shortage? There was a snowfall in the Twisted Jungle recently, and many wild animals starved to death.

If we rashly let them in across the door, I fear it will disturb the peace of your domain."

When the Lion King said this, it wasn't out of malice; it was just based on the appetites of its lion group.

After all, just feeding the lion group consumed a huge amount of food.

Even the Lion King worried that after joining the domain, they could be resented for eating too much.

But it saw Kael shake his head and say, "Do you know where the Shadow Wolves have gone?"

The Lion King's gaze instinctively drifted towards Kael's slender waist, outlined beneath his Mage's simple clothing.

Kael slapped his forehead and sighed, "Do you Monsters of the Twisted Jungle have a grave illness, thinking of eating as the first thing? I think you'd get along quite well with those Undead.

Never mind that; when the time comes, just guide us properly. When you encounter those intelligent Monsters, just relay this message on our behalf."

"Lord Kael, you say!"

"Surrender in advance, and you get room and board after being enslaved!"

Lion King: "..."

Lion King: "Lord Kael, how many such positions are there?"

Kael, listening through Totem Vision to the Lion King's inner musings, let his thoughts roll for a moment, and with a slightly teasing tone, said,

"They are different from you who joined us willingly; they'll receive even less. We'll have them follow orders for a solid eight hours a day, providing only three meals along with bones to gnaw on.

They'll only get fruit in the morning, and merely an hour for lunch, leaving them exhausted and without opportunity to cause trouble.

Ha-ha, we will distribute their full remuneration on time and in the exact amount, ensuring they don't earn a penny extra!"

The Lion King couldn't help but recall the pitiable life of the lions over the past few years, always trying to avoid the Shadow Wolf King while also spending a lot of time hunting, and tears welled up at the corner of its mouth.

"To extract more surplus value from them, they can only get triple pay for additional tasks performed for me, and after completing tasks, they must go to our newly built Beast Taming Arena for compulsory combat practice and guidance in Bloodline Magic; we cover the expenses, cutting at least an hour from their time, and they get just one psychological counseling session per week!"

The Lion King remembered how last month, to help its 22nd son grow stronger faster, it had skimped half of its daily ration to provide for the son's training needs.
